The EE 5G network is set to be tested out at the Glastonbury Festival in the UK that's taking place this June to provide concertgoers with ultra-fast connectivity during their experience.
EE will install five temporary masts set up strategically around the grounds that will provide 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G connectivity for users. Festivalgoers can try out the 5G connectivity by utilizing the onsite WiFi as the new bandwidth isn't directly compatible for use with most devices just yet.
The Glastonbury Festival EE 5G network is just one aspect of the brands involvement in the event and will also see it hosting the EE Recharge Tent that will provide users the ability to charge their smartphone anytime from 10am to 10pm.
